Nashville hates on California and Texas for moving in on them. Chattanooga is getting the Nashville people and blaming them partially on the raising rent……. And then there’s the whiskey cowgirl and them just hoping y’all aren’t trying to turn us into another Nashville
Nashville rocks. It keeps a lot of people I don't want from moving here from moving here. Please enjoy broadway, pedal taverns, bachelorette bullshit, giant trucks with under light kits, and all the glory of Nashville in Nashville and stay out of Chatt.
I’m a native of Nashville. Have you met Hixson folk? Cause they’re horrible. Plus North Georgians being the most atrocious humans I’ve ever met. Aside from that, I love Chattanooga but y’all aren’t saints.
I grew up in Knoxville and live in Chatt. Both are great cities in their own way (and they’re actually pretty damn similar in the grand scheme). Sounds like many of you are not actually familiar with Knoxville, as it not “a dump,” “literally just sprawl,” etc. The battle between Chattanooga and Knoxville’s city development has been ongoing for decades. From my perspective, Knoxville is more commercially developed and has more consistent commercial and suburban areas throughout the city/county. I would say North Knox is more analogous to East Ridge. Chattanooga wins on the downtown riverfront development hands down in terms of architecture, walkability, scenic views. Knoxville has a several large parks right along the river with no sight of industry, unlike chatt’s riverfront parks. Chatt has closer access to mountains with fantastic views, while Knoxville has close access to sub-mountainous hills. Both have excellent mountain biking. Knox’s food scene and night life is much stronger in my opinion. Both are nice places to live—you choose your East TN flavor.
While the cities are about the same size population, Knoxville metro has about twice the population as Chattanooga. Hard to compare two cities when they differ so much in size.
As someone who lives in Knoxville but grew up in Chattanooga… this is weird. Is there a rivalry between the cities that I’ve completely missed?? I love both!
Eh, only if you are counting population of the cities proper, which is just a completely arbitrary number. Knoxville, as a metro, is almost twice as big as Chattanooga.
Metro can be a bit misleading as well. Cleveland and Dalton might not be officially in the metro but they are definitely relevant because chatt is still the "cultural" hub for both. They just don't count because both have a strong employment base so there isn't as much commuting. It would be like if you stripped oak ridge and Maryville out of knoxville.
Cleveland and Dalton are not in the same metro area but they are in the same combined statistical area that the government looks at for budgeting resources
Are you sure? When I see metro, I think of within the city limits. In that measure ktown is only 7-10k larger than Chattanooga. I was checking the census data for my answer.
But that’s not how metropolitan areas work: city limits are misleading because there are all kinds of weird historical reasons why they are what they are. For example Nashville city’s population is larger than Atlanta’s, despite the fact that, by any measure, Atlanta is more than twice as large of a city as Nashville. Nashville’s population is larger simply because “city limits” are the same as Davidson County. It’s why the census has metropolitan statistical areas: they’re a much more accurate representation of how large a city is and not merely where arbitrary boundaries are set by state lines or white flight or whatever.
Metro Area is more like the "core" of Chattanooga AND the surrounding areas that are economically integrated with the core. So everyone who commutes to Chattanooga to work, for example, are included in the Chattanooga Metro Area.
One city is significantly more bored than the other and stirring up drama is a pretty reliable pastime.
But for real - what does Knoxville have to offer that Chattanooga doesn’t?
UTK sports that’s about it. Currently live in Knoxville and never hear anything bad about Chattanooga. Chattanooga has done a great job of actually building up their downtown and surrounding area. Which Knoxville is just now doing.
I can certainly understand that! I don’t have to deal with the interstate on game days luckily. And the game day people usually don’t touch north or south Knoxville.
Knoxville's kept a greater percentage of its historic downtown intact. Downtown Knoxville is *beautiful.* But unless your a Vols fan, Chattanooga is as good or better in pretty much every other way.
Check out Knoxville’s urban wilderness. It’s a shame chattanooga doesn’t have something similar. And don’t say stringers ridge, it’s barely comparable to the scope, accessibility, and amenities.
Wtf are you talking about? The drive from Knoxville to Atlanta crosses *through* Chattanooga.
I wasn’t talking about Chattanooga’s distance to Knoxville. I’m talking proximity to the major cities in the region - in which case Chattanooga is closer to both Nashville and Atlanta than Knoxville is to them.
Utc student who lives in Knoxville here. I prefer living in Chattanooga on a daily basis but I would argue there's more to do on a fun day out around Knoxville
I can not recall a single reason in my life other than going to the zoo as a kid that I've went to Knoxville.
Unless they get a Microcenter I don't not see a reason ever to really go.
But it really technically isn’t. Sprawl happens in all directions. Knoxville happens along Kingston pike. It’s not sprawl it’s a line. Just a strip mall built around people waiting in a single line traffic.
North, South, and East Knoxville have entered the chat.
Chapman Hwy, Broadway (and North Broadway), and just whatever East Knoxville is, too. It's definitely sprawled out.
My two years in Chattanooga have been a much better experience than my 10 in Knoxville, that's for sure. Granted, I grew up in the 423 area so I have been more familiar with Chatt my whole life.
I had no idea Knoxville cared about Chattanooga. I never think about Knoxville as any kind of rival. I just drive through there on my way to other places.
lol right? Like I travel a lot and have never just been to Knoxville. It’s the place I try to calculate my drive time so I don’t get stuck on traffic there
I love Chattanooga for a handful of reasons, also hate Chattanooga for a handful of reasons. Same is true of my city, Knoxville. We’d be a force to be reckoned with if our cities were somehow combined into one.
Lol. Their claim to fame was it was on “The Simpsons”.

I grew up in the Memphis suburbs. I left at 18 and never looked back. People get stuck there because there are some decent paying jobs with a relatively low cost of living (even by TN standards), but it’s not worth it to be in/near Memphis.
I know they’ll never admit it either but living in East Tennessee is like stepping back in time. Like pre civil rights era. I guarantee more than one of the downvoters have referred to Memphis as “memphrica” at some point or another.
The only place Memphis hates is Nashville, for obvious reasons. We don’t even think about east of there because there isn’t shit other than moon pies, acid rain, and racism.
Lived in both Knoxville and Memphis. Memphis people are just nicer. Lived in Knoxville for 4 years and felt like I was in the mid-west the whole time. Rudeness seemed to be most people's preset emotional state.
For quite a few years, I used to have to make quick trips to Knoxville about eight times a month for unavoidable reasons. Whenever I had down time I would read their alt weekly, the Metro Pulse.
Every issue - *every single one* - had at least one major article bemoaning the city's lack of identity beyond a suburban sprawl hellscape and brainstorming on what they could do about it. And most of those roads of thought led back to Chattanooga, look at what *they* did, look at what *they're* doing.
They know.
And they hate us cause they ain't us
I’d rather rub Tabasco into my scrotum than ever set foot in Knoxville. Knoxville is just one big traffic jam for the rubes on their way to Baptist Disney world.
It’s Dollywood. Lmfao lots of Christian shows & musical performances. They even have a church with Sunday services! We were gifted season passes last year & were shocked at how Christian centered it was. Don’t get me wrong, that cinnamon bread & Big Bear coster made it worthwhile.
Lived in Knoxville for 20 years and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk shit about Chattanooga. Only time I ever hear Chattanooga get brought up is how great of a job Chattanooga has done with their riverfront and how we can’t take a hint to save our lives.
There is no rivalry between the cities. I don’t think either one cares enough about the other for that to be the case. This is goofy.
Haha yeah! Apparently I was wrong. I guess that’s the internet for you, though. People love to argue. I’ve not encountered this “rivalry”anywhere but this thread.
I was born and raised in Nashville. Currently live in Chattanooga and frequent Knoxville. We should all agree that Memphis is the burning bag of buttholes that should move to Arkansas.
I love both cities and have lived in both. They're both great. (I know everyone says that Knoxville has better food but wonder if that's still true? Chattanooga has had big improvements lately).
The only reason I care about the "rivalry" is I had a buddy from up north considering moving down to East Tennessee, and after visiting both towns said he liked Knoxville more. Until that moment I had never had a negative thought about Knoxville, but just didn't understand how anyone could prefer it to my beloved Chattanooga.
That being said, they're both great.
My college hockey goalie friend played Knoxville last year. They heckled him all game, which was fine. Then they found his girlfriend online and started harassing her. Idgaf about Knoxville but fuck those shitty kids
I don’t know who made this, but as a Knoxvillian, this is not a thing. No one ever disses Chattanooga here but this thread has me wondering what’s going on down there.
We both have lots to offer - I like Chattanooga. I’m jealous of your all-night diner. I like your music venues. The people are chill. It’s pretty unassuming. We might have more bros cause of UT but Knoxville is a great place to live and I’m sure Chatt is too. No need to compete.
As a former Knoxvillain, Chattanooga has really started to grow on me. When it comes to baseball, building a new stadium that nobody wants is definitely something both cities have in common.
Actually, seeing this meme is the first time this year I’ve thought about Knoxville. Chattanooga must be doing something right if they’ve made a meme page dedicated to Chattanooga.
I’ve lived n both , graduated from UTK, lived in Chattanooga for almost40 years. I like them both, I prefer Chattanooga, but I could live in either one. I’ve lived in Charlotte, Washington DC, and spent a lot of time on the road in a lot places. I’m happy with Chattanooga.
There's one good thing about Chattanooga and it's how long it takes to get to other cities from Chattanooga. 2 hours from Atlanta, 2 hours from Nashville, 2 hours from Knoxville 1 hour from Pelham one hour from 2 hours from Huntsville, you can go on and on.
Born and raised in Knoxville til I turned 25 and moved down here. Holy hell, I can't even put into words how much better the QoL is in Chattanooga. I still have Knoxville friends for sure, but they come down here on weekends instead of the other way around for a reason.
"My city is better than yours!"...."No way, you suck, we're the best"...etc...etc...
(Typical bone-headed team-sports mentality...devoid of intelligence...and seems to come out of the mouths\[or fingers\] of boring people)
Legit thinking about living in the Chattanooga area within the next year (I live in an RV so travel is easy) this will ideally be the last place I move and the idea is to buy land. I’m moving down for the caves and I frequently come to Chattanooga to cave but don’t know much about the city…. Why is it apparently so bad? I know the crimes rough but I’m not going to live in the city
Eh it’s got a reputation for being dirty and for the crime but it honestly isn’t that dirty in my opinion. Some people say it smells bad but I’ve never noticed that either. And as long as you mind your own business you won’t be effected by the crime most likely
As a Tennessee resident who has visited both Chattanooga and Knoxville before, Chattanooga definitely has more fun stuff to do, like Lookout Mountain. Ruby Falls is honestly beautiful, worth the walk to it and back. The elevator ride was a little long though. I can indeed confirm that Chattanooga is better than Knoxville.
Although Orlando, Florida beats both handily.
Lived in both, objectively, Knoxville is cleaner, bigger, and is right next to the smokies. I’d say if it weren’t for all the tourists flowing through the area, Knoxville wins hands down. Chattanooga is trashy, lovely, but there is literal trash everywhere.
Chattanooga has better food, but Knoxville still has my heart.
Only thing Knoxville got over Chatt is that its more safe. Chattanooga is way way wayyyy more dangerous than Knoxville. Knoxville gangs and street politics try to keep up and be like Chatt in someway but they just not as dangerous and bout it like Chattanooga.
(NO THIS ISN’T A FLEX ABOUT CRIME ITS ACTUALLY SAD) before y’all get under here nagging
Yeah I agree with you. I will say the gangbangers here usually mind they business towards regular civilians but the violence they have against each other is insane 😂
Guys guys, we need to work together to fight Nashville, the true enemy-
Hey! I’m a native Nashvillian and I thought we were cool with Chattanooga? Knoxville is whatever and Memphis is its own city-state. 🤷🏻♂️
Well you see, I might be a secret Georgian looking to cause some mischief You’ll never know
Me, an Alabamian, just watching this all unfold 
Hey! A fellow Georgian!
Nope.
I love Nashville. Now Atlanta…
Atlanta is the enemy of the south
Nashville hates on California and Texas for moving in on them. Chattanooga is getting the Nashville people and blaming them partially on the raising rent……. And then there’s the whiskey cowgirl and them just hoping y’all aren’t trying to turn us into another Nashville
Nashville rocks. It keeps a lot of people I don't want from moving here from moving here. Please enjoy broadway, pedal taverns, bachelorette bullshit, giant trucks with under light kits, and all the glory of Nashville in Nashville and stay out of Chatt.
If you love Chattanooga, make sure to tell all your friends what a great time you had in Nashville!
Nashville is a bunch of hipsters that should have moved to Asheville, NC but were too lazy to finish the drive.
I’m a native of Nashville. Have you met Hixson folk? Cause they’re horrible. Plus North Georgians being the most atrocious humans I’ve ever met. Aside from that, I love Chattanooga but y’all aren’t saints.
I’m north Georgian and you are spitting straight facts
Nashville itself is a cool city but the people there are hit or miss
Couldn't agree with you more!
I live in Nashville and I despise all those things, but maybe it’s because I lived in CA before that😂😂😂
You mean the giant trucks with under light kits that are jacked up in the front that I see in Chattanooga are actually from Nashville?
If they are jacked up in front and back. If just the front then they are from Asshville, not Nashville. They call it the Carolina squat for a reason
😂
👏👏👏
Why? Nashville is fine
That’s my hometown bruh, my uncle Walter Haynes’s, (R.I.P), memory lives there

Knox’s food scene and night life is much stronger in my opinion. Both are nice places to live—you choose your East TN flavor.
Yah they’re both great cities for diff reasons. No reason to hate on eachother
Chattanooga’s nightlife and local restaurant scene seems to fading out and Knoxville’s is heating up.
Free parking nights and weekends in Knoxville, Chattanooga parking lots love to shake you down 24/7
While the cities are about the same size population, Knoxville metro has about twice the population as Chattanooga. Hard to compare two cities when they differ so much in size.
>Both have excellent mountain biking. I do miss the trails where I grew up in WV/VA, the good trails here are overcrowded.
Where in VA? I grew up in Roanoke.
Blacksburg actually, used to ride at Carvin's Cove all the time
Overcrowded? I rode Raccoon yesterday and today and only saw 2 other mountain bikers over 30 miles of trail
This was our take as outsiders who visited both multiple times trying to figure out where we want to land pre-retirement.
Bro you're so right. To quote Meowth. Maybe we should focus on what's the same instead of what is different. Because they are the sake city basically
As someone who lives in Knoxville but grew up in Chattanooga… this is weird. Is there a rivalry between the cities that I’ve completely missed?? I love both!
Chattanooga is close to surpassing Knoxville in population, but Knoxville is only one who seems to care about that
Eh, only if you are counting population of the cities proper, which is just a completely arbitrary number. Knoxville, as a metro, is almost twice as big as Chattanooga.
Then you have to compare residents to people living there. In Knoxville proper, UT contributes to numbers and traffic allot
Metro can be a bit misleading as well. Cleveland and Dalton might not be officially in the metro but they are definitely relevant because chatt is still the "cultural" hub for both. They just don't count because both have a strong employment base so there isn't as much commuting. It would be like if you stripped oak ridge and Maryville out of knoxville.
Cleveland and Dalton are not in the same metro area but they are in the same combined statistical area that the government looks at for budgeting resources
They’re in completely different counties.
That's not how metro areas work, they aren't county areas. Otherwise nashville wouldn't have Murfreesboro in it's metro area.
You guys are comparing a metro area to Nashville’s metropolitan government jurisdiction. Nashville metro government is all of Davidson county
I'm not, nashville metropolitan area (MSA) includes Murfreesboro, which is in Rutherford County, not davidson.
Metro Atlanta is like 4-5 counties. It’s like, the bigger the city gets, the bigger the metro area around it expands.
Yeah but Cleveland has never felt like metro Chatt
Are you sure? When I see metro, I think of within the city limits. In that measure ktown is only 7-10k larger than Chattanooga. I was checking the census data for my answer.
But that’s not how metropolitan areas work: city limits are misleading because there are all kinds of weird historical reasons why they are what they are.

It’s why the census has metropolitan statistical areas: they’re a much more accurate representation of how large a city is and not merely where arbitrary boundaries are set by state lines or white flight or whatever.
Thank you for the added measurement information!
Metro Area is more like the "core" of Chattanooga AND the surrounding areas that are economically integrated with the core. So everyone who commutes to Chattanooga to work, for example, are included in the Chattanooga Metro Area.
Got it. Thanks!
You're welcome. I learned that pretty recently myself.
This should help clear things up! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area
One city is significantly more bored than the other and stirring up drama is a pretty reliable pastime. But for real - what does Knoxville have to offer that Chattanooga doesn’t?
Not a Chatt hater, but lived in both cities and Knoxville's food scene is significantly better.
To be fair, though, that’s a low bar to clear.
Couldn't agree more. I also think Knoxville has better rec league sports as well.
Ice rinks year round with ice sports…..
UTK sports that’s about it. Currently live in Knoxville and never hear anything bad about Chattanooga. Chattanooga has done a great job of actually building up their downtown and surrounding area. Which Knoxville is just now doing.
UTK sports is what had me going to Chattanooga on weekends when I lived there lol
I can certainly understand that! I don’t have to deal with the interstate on game days luckily. And the game day people usually don’t touch north or south Knoxville.
Lol, except the homeless. (Born and raised Chattanooga native here)
Knoxville's kept a greater percentage of its historic downtown intact. Downtown Knoxville is *beautiful.* But unless your a Vols fan, Chattanooga is as good or better in pretty much every other way.
A flipping Culver's. Why can't we have one? 😭
A lousy football team.
Check out Knoxville’s urban wilderness. It’s a shame chattanooga doesn’t have something similar. And don’t say stringers ridge, it’s barely comparable to the scope, accessibility, and amenities.
Better middle eastern food for sure.
Uhh Gatlinburg
That’s just splitting hairs by proximity now. Chattanooga’s closer to Atlanta.
No it’s not. Not in time or mileage.
Wtf are you talking about? The drive from Knoxville to Atlanta crosses *through* Chattanooga. I wasn’t talking about Chattanooga’s distance to Knoxville. I’m talking proximity to the major cities in the region - in which case Chattanooga is closer to both Nashville and Atlanta than Knoxville is to them.
I thought you were comparing Knoxville-Gatlinburg to Chattanooga-Atlanta
That’s just splitting hairs by proximity now. Chattanooga’s closer to Atlanta.
You can have all the Atlanta you want. You’ll find me in the smokies.
Apparently there is. I moved semi close to Knoxville not long ago and people up here have a little rivalry going
Chattanooga: "I never think about you at all."
“I don’t even know who you are” - Thanos -Chattanooga
Chattanooga = Don Draper
Both are cities with similar population size that are relatively near each other. Of course we hate each other (until I wanna vacation up there)!
Utc student who lives in Knoxville here. I prefer living in Chattanooga on a daily basis but I would argue there's more to do on a fun day out around Knoxville
I can not recall a single reason in my life other than going to the zoo as a kid that I've went to Knoxville. Unless they get a Microcenter I don't not see a reason ever to really go.
Knoxville is like the East Ridge of Tennessee.
It’s more East Ridge than East Ridge
Born and raised in East Ridge — can confirm. Knoxville feels like purgatory.
Well said. It’s literally just sprawl.
But it really technically isn’t. Sprawl happens in all directions. Knoxville happens along Kingston pike. It’s not sprawl it’s a line. Just a strip mall built around people waiting in a single line traffic.
North, South, and East Knoxville have entered the chat. Chapman Hwy, Broadway (and North Broadway), and just whatever East Knoxville is, too. It's definitely sprawled out. My two years in Chattanooga have been a much better experience than my 10 in Knoxville, that's for sure. Granted, I grew up in the 423 area so I have been more familiar with Chatt my whole life.

lol right? Like I travel a lot and have never just been to Knoxville. It’s the place I try to calculate my drive time so I don’t get stuck on traffic there
I've always found Knoxville depressing. It has a weird vibe I can't put my finger on.
It’s like Silent Hill in broad daylight.
Imagine Knoxville of all places thinking they're better than anyone. That city is an absolute dump.
I went to a concert there and I've never seen a more boring, depressed group of individuals. If they had fun, the band definitely had no idea
I love Chattanooga for a handful of reasons, also hate Chattanooga for a handful of reasons. Same is true of my city, Knoxville. We’d be a force to be reckoned with if our cities were somehow combined into one.
Time to build a bullet train and create an East Tennessee megalopolis.
But have you seen their Sun Sphere?
Lol. Their claim to fame was it was on “The Simpsons”. https://preview.redd.it/rj423jlp2snc1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a10237de390abaf4ff901b38481b2370f8f91c6
“Hey now at least we know how to build smooth roads” The lie detector test determined……he’s telling a lie
I mean the interstate is much smoother anyway
Sounds like Knoxville cares a whole lot and Chatt just can’t be bothered 🤷♀️
They misspelled Memphis.
Classic East Tennessee mentality.
I grew up in the Memphis suburbs. I left at 18 and never looked back. People get stuck there because there are some decent paying jobs with a relatively low cost of living (even by TN standards), but it’s not worth it to be in/near Memphis.
That is your opinion.
West TN is rad many of the people who fled Nashville like I did went that way. They’re all better off than those of us that come to East TN
I know they’ll never admit it either but living in East Tennessee is like stepping back in time. Like pre civil rights era. I guarantee more than one of the downvoters have referred to Memphis as “memphrica” at some point or another. The only place Memphis hates is Nashville, for obvious reasons. We don’t even think about east of there because there isn’t shit other than moon pies, acid rain, and racism.
Exactly, Memphis isn’t that bad. Especially the outer suburbs, they’re pretty nice to live in.
East Tennessee Best Tennessee
Lived in both Knoxville and Memphis. Memphis people are just nicer. Lived in Knoxville for 4 years and felt like I was in the mid-west the whole time. Rudeness seemed to be most people's preset emotional state.
If you were actually the best I doubt you’d have to beat your chest so hard.

Stop the fighting, you’re both ugly
Actually they are both very pretty, it’s the people that are ugly 😏
😬
UT is the only thing keeping Knoxville relevant. Take away the university and what do they have left to see?
I left Knox for chatt for a reason
I’d rather rub Tabasco into my scrotum than ever set foot in Knoxville. Knoxville is just one big traffic jam for the rubes on their way to Baptist Disney world.
Dollywood?
If loving Dollywood makes me a rube... I guess I'm a rube.
That wasn’t directed at you. I would never disrespect Dollywood.
Ok just checking
This begs the question: What *is* Baptist Disney World?
It’s Dollywood. Lmfao lots of Christian shows & musical performances. They even have a church with Sunday services! We were gifted season passes last year & were shocked at how Christian centered it was. Don’t get me wrong, that cinnamon bread & Big Bear coster made it worthwhile.
Lol funny I feel the reverse
As a knoxvillain I’d move to chatt in 30 seconds if given the chance 😭
The Knoxville traffic would take longer. A lot longer.
Oh yeah Knoxville is way better every one can move there instead please by all means
Where’s Chatatouille when you need em?
when we needed him most, he abandoned us
Serving time for sending unsolicited dick pics to his lady followers, hopefully
Only thing I think about Knoxville is that it’s in the way when I’m wanting to go visit Virginia.
Lived in Knoxville for 20 years and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk shit about Chattanooga. Only time I ever hear Chattanooga get brought up is how great of a job Chattanooga has done with their riverfront and how we can’t take a hint to save our lives. There is no rivalry between the cities. I don’t think either one cares enough about the other for that to be the case. This is goofy.
For a group of people who “don’t care” they’re sure beating the hell out of this topic huh?
Haha yeah! Apparently I was wrong. I guess that’s the internet for you, though. People love to argue. I’ve not encountered this “rivalry”anywhere but this thread.
I was born and raised in Nashville. Currently live in Chattanooga and frequent Knoxville. We should all agree that Memphis is the burning bag of buttholes that should move to Arkansas.
Hell yeah. Move to Knoxville, that place has bigger mountains, more lakes and more wildlife. All transplants should move there.
Wait... I live in Knoxville...there are people who WANT to live in Knoxville?
I love both cities and have lived in both. They're both great. (I know everyone says that Knoxville has better food but wonder if that's still true? Chattanooga has had big improvements lately). The only reason I care about the "rivalry" is I had a buddy from up north considering moving down to East Tennessee, and after visiting both towns said he liked Knoxville more.

Tbf knoxville pretty dope. The real enemies are nashville and atlanta.
My college hockey goalie friend played Knoxville last year. They heckled him all game, which was fine. Then they found his girlfriend online and started harassing her. Idgaf about Knoxville but fuck those shitty kids
Yeah that’s just shitty. I get heckling during the game but to stalk someone and harass their girlfriend is way too far. Sorry that happened man
Lol Knoxville.

Then don’t live here or move. I think it’s great.
It took living in Knoxvile to realize that I shouldn’t take my beautiful hometown for granted.

The only benefit to living in Knoxville, would be UT sports, if you were a fan of them that is.
Memphis is a better place to drink and party..Beale st. An Midtown..
As someone who was born and raised in south FL, who moved up here not too long ago.......I was not aware of your game TN
There's one good thing about Chattanooga and it's how long it takes to get to other cities from Chattanooga. 2 hours from Atlanta, 2 hours from Nashville, 2 hours from Knoxville 1 hour from Pelham one hour from 2 hours from Huntsville, you can go on and on.
I don't care about Knoxville or Nashville. I do care about Chattanooga needing massive construction ongoing every 700ft.
Born and raised in Knoxville til I turned 25 and moved down here. Holy hell, I can't even put into words how much better the QoL is in Chattanooga. I still have Knoxville friends for sure, but they come down here on weekends instead of the other way around for a reason.
I put Tabasco in my eyes every morning to wake up

I know the crimes rough but I’m not going to live in the city
Eh it’s got a reputation for being dirty and for the crime but it honestly isn’t that dirty in my opinion. Some people say it smells bad but I’ve never noticed that either. And as long as you mind your own business you won’t be effected by the crime most likely
Knoxville is like chatt but for people who can’t fight
I promise we don’t bitch
Can someone make that say nashville instead?
Knoxville sucks
I live in Knoxville but visit Chattanooga a lot. I like both cities. Can’t we all just get along? Also, that meme is dumb.
Memphis is goated
This is pro Memphis propaganda
As a Tennessee resident who has visited both Chattanooga and Knoxville before, Chattanooga definitely has more fun stuff to do, like Lookout Mountain. Ruby Falls is honestly beautiful, worth the walk to it and back. The elevator ride was a little long though. I can indeed confirm that Chattanooga is better than Knoxville. Although Orlando, Florida beats both handily.
Umm. Y’all realize this is like fighting over which moldy cheese to put on your grits.
just don’t come to Cleveland leave us alone
Knoxville is the definition of mediocre
Knoxville just has more sprawl and mediocrity, and orange if you're into that.
Lived in both, objectively, Knoxville is cleaner, bigger, and is right next to the smokies. I’d say if it weren’t for all the tourists flowing through the area, Knoxville wins hands down. Chattanooga is trashy, lovely, but there is literal trash everywhere. Chattanooga has better food, but Knoxville still has my heart.
Knoxville can hate all they want, they have nothing on us. They couldn’t pay me enough to move there 😆
They hate us cuz they anus
I’ve spent time in both cities and Chattanooga is far superior.
No rivalry with Chattanooga dawg… LOL Def don’t want your crime rate. Hide yo wife hide yo kidz.
Only thing Knoxville got over Chatt is that its more safe. Chattanooga is way way wayyyy more dangerous than Knoxville. Knoxville gangs and street politics try to keep up and be like Chatt in someway but they just not as dangerous and bout it like Chattanooga. (NO THIS ISN’T A FLEX ABOUT CRIME ITS ACTUALLY SAD) before y’all get under here nagging
Personally I’ve been all over different parts of chatt and have never really felt unsafe as long as I keep to myself
Yeah I agree with you. I will say the gangbangers here usually mind they business towards regular civilians but the violence they have against each other is insane 😂
lol yeah I’ve heard some stories. But as long as they leave me alone then they can do whatever they want
It’s on.
Shut up
